I have an acquaintance who is working in a top Bay Area tech company with a total compensation of close to $200k.
Her parents visited her and sadly her Dad had a cardiac episode and had to be taken to ER.
They stabilized him and thankfully he managed to go back to his home country and get proper treatment.
The ER bill was about $50k and she decided that the best way to pay it was by creating a GoFundMe campaign before she even tried to negotiate with the hospital or fight it with the insurance.
She managed to raise $15k.
After seeing that I am reluctant to donate any money to GoFundMe campaigns.
